I was able to find people to help with my vision and kept asking questions to myself and others in order to push further away from the employee mindset.

My vision on it... hold onto it for about 7-10 years, see where the market is and how much the house would be worth, how much equity I have in the house, and either 1035 exchange it into multifamily properties or keep renting it out.

Down the road if I start this business I will need to have a vision statement and I'm hoping to find a way that I can incorporate my tenants needs to contribute along with mine in one big happy happy joy joy symbiotic love fest.

Please Note I am by no means an expert and am actually working on quite a few of these on the list below: Write down your goals – ie: Think about you the end goal in mind, whether it be fixing and flipping full time, or becoming a real estate sales agentFocus on the goals you want to obtain by creating daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goalsFigure out strategies on the ways you will be able to obtain your goals.If you are visual like myself, Create a vision board of where you are and where you would like to be with images FIND A MENTOR- I believe this is one of the most important advice I have been given in my own personal journey in real estate (find someone whom you aspire to be like) GO TO THE BP meetings to network and get some positive energy/vibes from local investors in the area Please feel free to add your input especially if you have some great ideas about how people can cut that 1-2 year mark down.

Your wife being an agent can create tunnel vision because there is a part of the real estate market that most agents are completely ignorant of which is to their detriment.

Chris I appreciate you taking the time to extend some numbers I have a local mentor that is assisting me in finding deals for duplexes and larger single family homes we are building a list currently with several properties that will cash flow roughly around 800-1000 per door with less than 20k in renovations I'm more than open to learning more in regards to your style of investing I have a very clear vision of how I want to go about this journey however I learn everyday and would love to learn from you as well again thank you for your time!!!

I think its on the market because few investors have the stomach or the vision for an old building.. 

An agency that can appreciate an owner/investor's vision for homes and a longterm view.   

I see opportunities but much of it requires vision.  

I like your vision @Zach Yonek you do want to get the basic done first.
